Social Media Evidence Valid in Deciding Adultery Claims for Maintenance Cases: Punjab And Haryana High Court Sets Aside Family Court Order Mandating Husband to Pay Maintenance to Wife

In a key ruling, the Punjab and Haryana High Court set aside a family court’s order requiring a husband to pay INR 3,000 per month in maintenance and INR 10,000 in litigation costs to his estranged wife. The decision was based on social media evidence suggesting the wife was living with another man and allegedly committing adultery. The husband presented photographs and social media posts to support his claims. Justice Sumit Goyal stated that while digital evidence could be manipulated, it remains valid for consideration. The court ruled that the wife was not entitled to maintenance due to her misconduct, relieving the husband of financial obligations. HC on Divorce: Can’t Presume Working Women Lead Adulterous Life, Cogent Proof Must for Divorce, Says Punjab and Haryana High Court.
